I Become A Mob Character In A Novel

[Samael Ashwood's POV]

"Let me get this straight, You are a demoness from Infernia Continent in which demons reside, and you kind of were sent on a mission here but accidentally found out about the some grand plan of the elder of the Cult of the Infernal Eyes, who also was the one who sent you to this continent, Did I miss anything else?" Mother asked with the best straight face she could muster as she looked at Raven.

Raven nodded, her eyes reflecting a mixture of relief and apprehension. "Yes, that's correct. The Cult of the Infernal Eyes has a far-reaching plan that involves merging the upper planes with this plane or we can call it a total destruction of the whole realm," Raven continued, her voice steady but tinged with urgency.

"Their goal is to harness the immense power from the destruction to ascend and gain control over both realms. I stumbled upon their plans when I was sent here on a reconnaissance mission. Realizing the gravity of their intentions, I knew I had to warn someone powerful enough to oppose them."

She continued, "I was going to be caught by those sent by the elder, But Samael here, came and saved me from them."

Mother nodded slowly, processing the information. Her face, normally serene, showed lines of concern as she turned to me.

"Samael, is this true?" she asked, her voice gentle but firm. "Did you rescue Raven from the Cult's agents?"

I met Mother's gaze and nodded. "Yes, Mother. I encountered Raven when she was unconscious in a ruined fortress. At first, I wasn't sure who she was or what her intentions were, but it was clear she was in danger. The Cult's agents were closing in on her, and I couldn't just leave her there. I decided to bring her back here to keep her safe and to learn more about what she knew."

Mother's eyes softened slightly, but the concern remained. "I see. And Raven, you believe this Cult of the Infernal Eyes poses a significant threat to our realm?"

Raven nodded earnestly. "Absolutely. Their plans are already in motion, and they have agents everywhere. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. But we have time in our hands, the ritual for merging the realm can only be performed on the last day of a leap year which is three years and ten months away."

Mother's eyes flickered with a mix of relief and determination. "Three years and ten months... We have time, but we must act swiftly and decisively."

She turned to me, her expression resolute. "We need to gather allies, The Cult will not sit idle; they will be making their own moves. Samael, I trust you to lead this effort. Use every resource at our disposal. We must learn more about their plans and disrupt them at every turn."

I nodded, feeling the weight of responsibility settle on my shoulders. "I'll do everything in my power, Mother. We won't let them succeed."

Raven's expression was one of determination. "I'll provide you with all the information I have about the Cult and their agents. We need to stay one step ahead of them."

Mother's eyes softened as she looked at Raven. "You are welcome here, Raven. You have shown great courage in coming forward with this information. We will do everything in our power to protect you."

Raven nodded gratitude and determination in her eyes. "Thank you. I won't let you down."

"They also have... my mother..." Raven's voice trembled slightly, but she steadied herself and continued. "My mother is a powerful demoness who opposed the Cult's plans. When they discovered her resistance, they captured her. The Cult uses her as leverage, ensuring my compliance."

Mother's expression softened, a mixture of sympathy and resolve. "We will do everything we can to rescue your mother, Raven. Family is sacred, and we will not allow the Cult to use such despicable tactics."

Raven's eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Lady Ashwood. I promise to help in any way I can. With our combined efforts, we can stop the Cult and save my mother."

I placed a reassuring hand on Raven's shoulder. "You're not alone in this. We will face this threat together."

"Let her have some rest, Her body is still not fully recovered, She almost damaged her mana circuits it will take time to heal fully," I said while finishing the breakfast with a biting edge of worry in my voice. "She needs time to recover her strength before she can be of any real help."

Mother nodded in agreement. "Of course, Samael. Raven, please take the time you need to heal. Rest is crucial for your recovery, and we will handle the immediate preparations."

Raven managed a small, grateful smile. "Thank you, Samael. I'll rest now. But please keep me updated on any developments."

"Absolutely," I assured her. "We'll keep you informed."

As Raven made her way to a guest room specially prepared for her, I turned to Mother with a thoughtful expression. "We need to act quickly. But our enemies are on the whole continent here, what could we even do to counter a threat of this magnitude? Gathering allies is crucial, but we need a more detailed strategy."

Mother considered this for a moment, her eyes reflecting deep thought. "We need to think beyond immediate defenses. The Cult of the Infernal Eyes has likely infiltrated various levels of society. We'll need to identify their agents and dismantle their network piece by piece. Also, we should leverage our own intelligence sources to track their movements and uncover their plans."

"Yes, and Raven might be a crucial asset in this regard," I added. "Her knowledge about the Cult and its methods could help us pinpoint their weaknesses. We should ask her to share any specific information she has about their operations."

Mother nodded. "I'll make sure to consult with her once she's rested. In the meantime, let's focus on building our network. Oh! right your academy trails are going to start in some days right? And in the academy students from all over the realm will come, From almost every race and faction.

This might be the perfect opportunity to establish connections and gather allies. You'll need to be vigilant and strategic in forming these alliances."

I nodded, seeing the wisdom in her words. "The academy trials will indeed be a critical time. I'll use it to find those who can aid us in our cause, those who are both powerful and trustworthy. But we must also be cautious. The Cult might send their own agents to the academy, and we can't afford to let them get too close."

Mother agreed. "That's why you'll need to be discerning in who you trust. We can't risk exposing our plans to potential enemies. But if we play this right, the academy could become a hub for our resistance efforts."

Step! Step! Step! Step!

Knock~ Knock~

The sound of heavy steps and then the knocking at the door interrupted our conversation. Mother and I exchanged a glance, both of us tensing slightly.

"Enter," Mother called out.

The door creaked open, revealing a beautiful woman huffing and puffing. I failed to recognize her but mother-

"MIA! what happened why are you in such a state?" Mother exclaimed, rushing to the woman's side. Her concern was evident as she helped Mia, who was clearly exhausted, into a chair.

Mia took a moment to catch her breath, her face flushed from exertion. "Lady Ashwood, Lord Samael, I came as quickly as I could. I have urgent news."

"Who is she, Mother?" I asked while bringing a glass of water to the distressed woman.

Mother glanced at me, her expression a mix of worry and urgency. "Mia is one of our most trusted spies and informants. If she's here in such a state, the news must be grave."

Mia took a grateful sip of water, her hands trembling slightly. "Thank you, Lord Samael," she said before turning her attention to Mother. "The royal family... Queen Clarissa... released Lord Garrick Rutherford from prison and relaying the people against Lord Samael by announcing King Cedric's murder by your hands, how you killed their beloved king in cold blood."

The room seemed to chill as Mother's aura intensified, her normally serene demeanor shattering in an instant. Her Nature Magic responded to her fury, causing the plants in the room to tremble and grow wild.

"How dare they!" Mother hissed, her voice seething with rage. "King Cedric's death was a consequence of his own actions. To accuse Samael of such a heinous act is beyond outrageous!"

Mia nodded, her expression grave. "Yes, Lady Ashwood. The news has already spread through the capital and beyond. Many are rallying behind Lord Garrick, seeing him as a symbol of justice and retribution."

Mother took a deep breath, attempting to calm herself. "We must act swiftly to counter these lies. Our family's reputation is at stake, and we cannot allow them to tarnish it further."

"Samael," she said, turning to me with a determined look. "We need to clear your name and expose the truth. If they wish to paint you as a villain, we must show them the true nature of their so-called heroes."
